Over the recent extremely hot days, families in some of Da Nang’s residential areas have repeatedly complained about a severe shortage of tap water which has adversely affected their daily lives.

DAWACO employees are on duty around the clock to monitor local water supplies

To deal with this matter of deep concern, Da Nang Water Supply Company (DAWACO) has recently established an emergency response team which is responsible for providing free water, in a timely fashion, to households suffering a shortage.

On Tuesday, DAWACO placed 2 large public water tanks in the wards of Nai Hien Dong and Tho Quang in Son Tra District to supply water to households facing a lack of running water.  Company-owned water tanker trucks are being sent to some other locations which are still in desperate need of water.

Mr Ho Huong, the General Director of DAWACO, vowed that his company will continue its great efforts to ensure sufficient water supplies for the daily lives of local residents, and for agricultural and industrial production activities. 

He also underlined the need for local residents to maintain the efficient use of tap water during the current spell of hot weather.
